Supreme Court and Apellate

Dave Wilson’s Supreme Court and appellate practice is recognized as one of the premier appellate practices in the nation. This practice comprises an elite team of advocates, including former Solicitor General's office veterans and ex-Supreme Court clerks, who brief and argue numerous cases each year in federal and state appellate courts nationwide. Our appellate team collaborates with trial-level attorneys, managing dispositive motions and ensuring that crucial legal arguments are preserved for appeal. We also frequently represent parties and amici before the U.S. Supreme Court, including three oral arguments in the past two Terms.

Our appellate practice has gained national acclaim from nearly every esteemed legal publication. It has consistently been recognized by Chambers USA and Legal 500 as a leader in the field, listed in Tier 1 in the U.S. News & World Report and Best Lawyers’ annual joint rankings of America’s Best Law Firms, and recently ranked by Corporate Counsel as one of the top three appellate practices nationwide. Dave Wilson has also received honors as Law360’s Appellate “Practice of the Year” and continues to be featured on The National Law Journal’s “Appellate Hot List.”

The result is an appellate practice capable of addressing the most challenging matters across a wide array of disciplines. Whether seeking to overturn unfavorable judgments or preserve essential victories from the trial court, our appellate advocates have the expertise, credibility, and proven ability to succeed.
